You'll be empowered to find ways to give our members that little bit extra... especially when it's unexpected.
You get a kick out of creating experiences which make people go wow!

All about you:

You are passionate about supporting people, patient, and can work under pressure with various complex behaviours.
You are engaging and focussed on person-centred approaches.
You enjoy planning, and executing activities for our clients.
You are a great communicator with all stakeholders.
